Abstract–The fall of the Berduc meteorite took place on April 7, 2008, at 01 h 02 min
28 s ± 1 s UTC. A daylight fireball was witnessed by hundreds of people from Argentina
and Uruguay, and also recorded by an infrasound array in Paraguay. From the available
data, the fireball trajectory and radiant have been reconstructed with moderate accuracy.
The modeled trajectory was tested to fit the infrasound and strewn field data. From the
computed apparent radiant a = 87 ± 2 and d = )11 ± 2 and taking into account a
range of plausible initial velocities, we obtained a range of orbital solutions. All of them
suggest that the progenitor meteoroid originated from the main asteroid belt and followed
an orbit of low inclination. Based on petrography, mineral chemistry, magnetic
susceptibility, and bulk chemistry, the Berduc meteorite is classified as an L6 ordinary
chondrite.
